A Georgia Girl in Germany

Every year, Girl Scouts have a “Thinking Day” when each troop, from Daisies to Seniors, choose a country to research and present what they've learned. MacKenzie’s troop chose Mexico. The girls learned facts about Mexico, made taco-shaped “swaps” to exchange and came prepared to learn about other countries around the world.

The event started with the parade of flags, and MacKenzie and Emma paraded the Mexican flag in front of the group.

Part of their responsibilities was to help visitors to their booth learn about Mexico. When the visiting girls filled in their Thinking Day passport with the appropriate information on Mexico, they earned a stamp, a swap, and a few Mexican Jumping Beans. I think the beans were the hit of the day, with girls returning on several occasions asking for more.
